Our final meeting of the 2023-2024 academic year helped our members destress for finals week!

What is a Trainer?
As a trainer, you will have the opportunity to provide bystanders with the knowledge and confidence necessary to successfully deliver CPR and other First Aid.
Why should you be a Trainer?
Becoming a Trainer will not only solidify your own knowledge in CPR/First Aid, but it will also provide you with various opportunities for personal development such as interpersonal skills, communication, and leadership. It also serves as a fantastic opportunity to volunteer and get involved with the community.
MedicZero has established training partnerships in multiple areas in New Jersey, including Middlesex, Jersey City, Newark, etc. We are also continuing to establish training bubbles through our university chapters at Rutgers, Temple, Villanova, Seton Hall, UConn, and NJIT! Our growing reach provides trainers from various regions with the opportunity to access and make a lasting impact on their community members, through bystander emergency medical education.
How can you become a Trainer?
Members of MedicZero can request addition to our Train-The-Trainer Google Classroom, which has detailed instructions on how our program works! It involves two phases - upon successful completion of both, members will be able to teach others about important life-saving techniques through walk-by events, stroke presentations, and more!
Realistically, the entire process should take no longer than 3-5 hours of total preparation and assessment, making this an accessible yet rewarding experience. We do ask that upon addition to the Classroom, candidates complete the program within 4 weeks or they are removed and must restart the process - this protocol is designed to ensure efficiency of our program.
Please note that candidates for TTT must be CPR-certified, but don't worry! We also sponsor CPR certifications for our valued members.
